texture, intricacy, and color over ethereal, evocative
watercolor paintings". Would you have believed that
the evolution of this idea came from an old Victorian
postcard? I found an 18th-century technique and
revived it in an exciting contemporary way. The
captivating element was the combination of a
painting with exquisite and luxurious texture. I use a
sewing machine and hand embroidery to embellish
my paintings on paper which are adhered to canvas
or board. Magic happens when two techniques
converge and the rich but harmonious scene
transmits a compelling experience or tells a story
that links humanity with our relationship to the
surrounding fragile environment. I want to stir
awareness of the grandeur of nature, its hidden
properties, and the innate qualities that symbolize
importance to our everyday lives. I intend to create
poignant, positive art together with a distinctive style.
We need to reconnect to our environment and be
aware of its inherent powers. My mission is to
transmit positive and uplifting moods- to
communicate with the power of art to transform our
heal, to understand and to contemplate our passage
